I'm working on the standardization of the shared directories. After that my goal is to make some of the base ports build from source. That should be done within a week. I would like to build Ant from source as soon as possible, but before that I want to make all dependency libraries from source first. Including for example xalan and xerces. If we can accomplish that, then that would be *really* nice. I know no OS that does something that advanced :) Sincerely.
